It’s for those attending Oktoberfest. Cause if you’re intending to talk to drunk Germans, German won’t help you. You’ll need Dutch.
Dutch is just swamp German
TIL Germans speak fluent High Valyrian and/ or Klingon.
Oh.
Oh.
Ooooooooh.
...clue in an oblivious Canadian?
I’m just being obtuse on purpose.
I don’t get it
Thwre is a running joke that Dutch just sounds like German but drunk.
I always think that Dutch just sounds like somebody speaking English in another room being heard through a wall.
The rhythm and cadence of the language just seems to match English much better than it does say French.
At one point in the evening Klingon would probably work too
